Published by Harper & Brothers from 1857 until 1916, it featured foreign and domestic news, fiction, essays on many subjects, and humor, alongside illustrations. It carried extensive coverage of the American Civil War, including many illustrations of events from the war. During its most influential period, it was the forum of the political cartoonist Thomas Nast. Gleason's Pictorial Drawing-Room Companion was a 19th-century illustrated periodical published in Boston, Massachusetts, from 1851 to 1859. The magazine was founded by Frederick Gleason in 1851. The publication name was changed to Ballou's Pictorial Drawing-Room Companion for 1855, after managing editor Maturin Murray Ballou bought out the interest of Gleason. The first issue as Ballou's was 6 January 1855. The magazine absorbed the Illustrated News of New York in 1853. It ceased publication in 1859. The Pictorial featured artists such as Winslow Homer, and authors such as Giddings H. Ballou, Susan H. Blaisdell, Alice Carey, Sylvanus Cobb, Jr., Sophronia Currier, Mrs. S. P. Doughty, Francis A.
